A Peony and a Scarf


Hermes Casques et Plumets


I finally took my new DSLR camera out of the box and took off the lens cap.  I had been a little intimidated. On the automatic setting, however, things are working out and I've captured some great pictures at my children's events, even with a little fumbling.  I'm looking forward to learning more about the camera settings and taking it on vacation.

I wanted to capture some images of detail - I had some beautiful peonies in the house, and unboxed a scarf:







I haven't forgotten about China. We are easing into a summer pace around here and I'm going to post more travel pictures soon.

    Look forward to more from China, but I do love how your DSLR picks up the petals on the peony, and the colors on your Hermes scarf!

    You have achieved one of my dreams - the perfect taupe-beige scarf!

    I love my DLSR (on auto :) and iPhone cameras!
    We took a similar trip on the Eurostar to Paris/Spain-Zara.
    Don’t forget (like I did) about Harry Potter's Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross Station in London.

      Thank you! Yes that is on our list :-) my children also want to see the Harry Potter WB studios so we are planning to make a visit there.
